  Speaker 1: One of the things we talked about when we were getting ready to record this episode is this idea that we've run into that grief actually doesn't get smaller necessarily as life goes on, but that life gets bigger.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And as life gets bigger we perceive that the grief is smaller, but for very, very many women recovering from divorce in a modern age, that doesn't seem to be happening, and it sometimes feels like the grief is looping and that it's something that you're getting stuck in or maybe addicted to, and so we're going to witness the woman today who is in this process, and by the end of the episode, I believe wholeheartedly that you will understand why you're stuck in this and what needs to shift in order to help your life grow bigger around the grief, even if it doesn't grow smaller.
